"Ness! Get down here quick!" shouted Jacob urgently. I dropped my hairbrush and ran down the staircase.

"What?" I asked in panic mode, gasping for air.

"Look!" said Jacob, pointing at the beautiful little girl in the middle of the room, brown curly hair hanging lose over her face, full, pink lips and olive skin, precariously walking towards Jacob in her pink dress.

"Oh my God!" I cried in utter pride and happiness. There were no words to explain the amount of joy I felt, watching my daughter taking her first steps.

"Come here baby!" laughed Jacob as she stumbled into his arms, giggling wildly.

I knelt down beside Jacob and scooped Jessie into my arms "Mommy is so proud of you," I whispered, showering her with kisses. She giggled in response and pulled away to get back to her dolls and toys, spread across the room.

To her, this wasn't much of a big deal, but to me, it was a milestone in the journey of my life.

I looked at Jacob, watching her, fascinated by her movement and behaviour and kissed his cheek. "That's our little girl."

Jacob turned to face me and smiled "I am the luckiest guy in the world," he said as he leaned in and kissed me.

It'd been eight years since I found out that Jacob was my soul mate. After I nearly lost him, I realised how lucky I was.

Once we'd finished college, Jacob and I spent some time travelling the world while Seth and Claire did the same. I visited parts of the world I never thought existed and lived my life to the fullest.

Four years later, on a vacation to Italy, Jacob popped the question and my immediate answer was yes. We'd settled down in Beaver which is only a couple of miles away from Forks and had been together for the past three years and had Jessie last year.

She was like a gift sent from heaven. A combination of werewolf and a third of vampire, made her very special. She'd inherited Jacob's gorgeous brown eyes and my curly brown hair and whether she had a special power of "gift", only time would tell.

My life had been changed since the day I met Jacob and I wouldn't have it any other way.

"I love you Jake," I said softly.

"I love you too Ness," said Jacob and she pushed a strand of hair behind my ear.

Just then the phone rang and I walked over to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Ren! Seth and I are coming over as soon as possible! I can't believe our little Jessie is growing up so fast!"

"You heard already?" I asked, laughing and surprised at the same time.

"Seth heard Jacob through their weird mind reading skills!" she laughed.

"Oh, that explains it! Come over," I said, smiling at Jacob and winking.

"We'll be there is no time."

Claire and Seth had gotten married around the same time as us and they'd settled a couple of blocks away.

"Seth and Claire are coming over," I said.

"Awesome, I'll go get some food ready," said Jacob getting up and heading for the kitchen.

"I'll clean up this place," I said, picking Jessie up and placing her on the couch with a few of her dolls. I collected her toys and chucked them in her box.

Just then the door bell rang.

"That was quick," I laughed as I smoothed my dress and crossed the room.

I answered the door to my parents' smiling faces.

"Mum! Dad! What are you doing here?" I cried in joy and surprise.

"You don't think I'd miss out on my granddaughter's first steps do you?" chuckled my dad, kissing me on the head and stepping into the house.

"News travels fast sweetheart," giggled my mum and she hugged me and immediately turned her attention to Jessie.

My guess was that Aunty Alice had a vision.

"Edward, Bella! Nice to see you guys!" said Jacob, shaking my dad's hand and hugging my mother.

"Nice to see you being a good dad," said my mother, grinning and kissing Jessie on the forehead.

Just as I was closing the door someone pushed it open; Billy, with Sue, Seth and Claire behind him.

"Billy!" I shrieked, hugging him.

"Hello Nessie! Sorry to intrude," he chuckled as his skin creased with age, but his eyes were still youthful.

"No! Don't be sorry!" I laughed hugging Sue and Seth.

"This is like on big family reunion!" laughed my dad, greeting Billy and the others.

"Not yet," said Claire. "Esme and the vampire clan will be here soon…Alice told them," she laughed as everyone else joined in.

An hour later the door bell rang and I was greeted by the rest of my vampire family. Obviously, no one had changed. They all looked like they'd stepped out of a teen vouge magazine: pretty and perfect.

Jacob set up the barbecue and we all sat in the garden, bathing in the sunshine as baby Jessie charmed everyone she looked at. Maybe that was her special gift. She was always able to hypnotize people into adoring her. Jacob and I had considered it at one point, but she was too young to solidify any theories!

We spent a large part of the afternoon reflecting on our pasts and making plans for the future. A while later, as we were eating, Seth stood up and clinked his glass with a fork.

"Ladies and gents! To Jacob, Nessie and Jessie, may they live in happiness!" we all laughed at his pathetic excuse for a toast as we clinked our glasses.

"Looks like our family is complete," said Grandma Esme thoughtfully. We all mumbled in agreement.

"Not exactly…" said Claire, silencing everyone. Suddenly all eyes were on her. What was she talking about? Were we missing anyone?

I looked over at her, golden hair tied up and red lips smiling cheekily as she gently stroked her belly.

I gasped in shock "you're pregnant!" I shrieked.

She nodded and I ran over to her and hugged her. I felt a surge of joy as everyone else congratulated the couple.

My life was complete. I had everything I could possible want; a family that adored me, friends that would go to the ends of the earth for me, a husband whom I was destined to be with and beautiful daughter.

Nothing could compare to the joy I was feeling at this moment… I was invincible.

"It's funny how things work out." Everyone seems to say that when unexpected things happen. I have always believed in it; no one knows what's around the corner, but I also believe that our futures are planned out and that's why I let nature take its course… What's meant to happen will happen.

The End...
